In the ongoing retrial of Karen Read for the murder of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, forensic pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Laposata testified that O'Keefe's fatal head injuries resulted from a fall onto a ridged surface, conflicting with prior expert assessments. Prosecutors maintain these injuries were inflicted when Read intentionally struck him with her SUV, whereas the defense suggests he was beaten inside a friend's home and set up in a conspiracy. The court also ruled Laposata could not testify on dog bite wounds due to lack of expertise, complicating the case further.
Laposata testified that O'Keefe's fatal head injuries were caused by falling back onto a ridged surface, contradicting earlier expert opinions regarding the nature of the injuries.
Prosecutors argue Read deliberately ran O'Keefe over with her vehicle, while the defense claims he was beaten inside a home and subsequently framed.
